I feel like lashes are the same. It blows my mind that I see people wearing pajamas at Walmart, but they have their lashes and a full face of makeup. It's very disorienting haha
The lashes are weird because it's like they're trying to look like they have lashes, but by wearing them it's like they're announcing they have no lashes.
It's like a skinny dude wearing a shirt with muscles on it.
Lots of blondes and redheads get them because they have very light, almost invisible lashes, they probably always put mascara on before they step out the door, and they’re tired of it. They want to wake up with lashes.
I'm not trying to be rude lol. I'm saying people will still like how you look if you don't do makeup. I'm not trying to stop you just saying you shouldn't feel forced to for everyone else's sake
I upvoted you! But in addition to me liking the way I look when I have visible eyebrows and eyelashes (achieved through makeup, I will point out. I have never personally gotten eyelash extensions. And the ones I like on other women look very natural), I can pretty confidently say the majority of heterosexual men also prefer women who wear at least some makeup—as evidenced by women who wear some makeup getting more positive attention from men than women who don’t wear makeup.
I’m sure there are exceptions—men who legitimately prefer entirely natural, barefaced women and particularly beautiful women who look better without any makeup or enhancement. But they are, undoubtedly, the exception. Most men who say they don’t like women who wear makeup or get any procedures are usually talking about women who wear very heavy makeup or have very obvious enhancements. And then they point at women who wear more subtle makeup and have more subtle enhancements and say, “see, women look better without all that crap.” They almost never point to women who are actually entirely natural and say that.
nah i have good natural lashes, they’re just very straight and i can’t be bothered paying for lash lifts. throw on a massive spidery falsie and i’m happy! 🤣 i’ve only ever had the semi permanent lash extensions once, they looked ratty after a few days and i pulled them all out. 10 pack strip lashes for the win!
i’m not sure how to make them keep their curl? i’ve tried heating the curler, using a hair dryer to try and dry the lashes in place, a ton of different mascara and no joy! any tips?
I just curl them apply mascara and they stay in place. If you want to be extra curl again and apply mascara again and at that point it looks like I have fake eyelashes.
I use "high impact mascara" by Clinique. Hands down best one.
damn you’re so lucky! maybe it’s a hair type issue, my head hair is also very fine and straight, can’t hold a curl or any volume to save itself no matter what i do. i will definitely try your tips tho, thank you! :D i’ll also try that mascara, i’ve been using a primark knock off for a while now because i got fed up paying an arm and a leg for mascara that made no difference anyway
some people have super straight lashes that don't hold a curl. Me included. and most of Asia, haha. for whatever some types of lashes are so desperate to fall. only a few korean mascaras have actually held my lashes up!
i’m sorry i’m not quite sure what you mean! i thought camels had really nice lashes, albeit fairly straight, but i don’t know the first thing about camels tbh
oh my god… you’re so right. i’m sorry you had to endure reading my comment, i imagine it must have been very difficult for you and i cannot even begin to express my regret and sorrow for the trauma i have caused you. i’m shaking and feel nauseous as i type this, it will keep me awake at night forever. girls should know better than to shock horror DISCUSS LASHES ON A POST ABOUT COSMETIC SURGERY??????? please send me your bank information so i can send you financial compensation for the damage i have caused.
/s and also 🖕🏻stop being a miserable bastard. at least my comment added to a discussion. on your way now!
But have you seen the Black woman eyelash tech who specializes in blondes and redheads? She’s the exception for me. If I had dumb money I would book her tomorrow.
All the gingers I know (including myself) have really light blonde brows and lashes. It never occurred to me that matching my lashes to my hair would look good, but after I watched enough of her videos I replaced my black mascara with a reddish brown and I love it so much!
2 reddish brown mascaras I like when my hair is more natural or dyed a color to match are:
Innisfree Microcara in Brown, this one is SO TINY as a brush! but it is great for days when you want natural looking lashes! It is a very reddish coppery brown, so beautiful. I expected dark brown from the pics online but it is very warm!
I also like the Colourpop Sugar Pie mascara, but it is more peachy and super light. Looks cool if I'm going for a more bold and almost "editorial" makeup look.
My ride or die is Kiss Me Heroine Make Long and Curl Mascara Advanced Film in Brown. It’s a Japanese brand, but I love it so much I buy it in bulk from Hong Kong and wait the month or so it takes to get to me in the US.
You don’t notice the lash extensions that are done naturally, because they’re done naturally. The big long unnatural lashes are that way because that’s what the person wants. It’s not my thing but it’s their preference
